The latest version of Google Chrome, version number 66, quietly added support for Oculus’ Rift headset, meaning you can now use the high-end VR device to browse the web in VR and make use of compatible WebVR applications. Rift support wasfirst picked up by keen Reddit userson the Oculus subreddit this week, some of whom noticed the new feature in the hidden “Experiments” section of Chrome.Varietylater reportedon the existence of the feature, and的边缘 can confirm that Rift support in Chrome is live now for the Windows 10 version of Google’s browser only. That makes sense, given VR web apps won’t run on an Oculus that’s plugged into a Mac.

Now, with Oculus support, you can explore web VR from a desktop using a high-end headset like the Rift. Granted, there isn’t a ton of content specifically designed for high-end web VR viewing, with more focus from Google and third-party makers being placed on mobile experiences. But just this week, Google launched a new initiative in partnership with laser scanning nonprofit CyArk tocreate immersive experiences around real-world endangered historical sitesto help preserve at-risk monuments, structures, and other historical treasures of the world. Those experiences work on mobile VR, but on also on desktop, meaning you could likely use the Rift to explore them from your Windows Chrome browser.
